Favorite Distro is hard to pin down. I like both Gentoo and Debian for different reasons. The current distro I have running on my main is Debian, but I've used Gentoo and RH6/7/8/9 in the past. For some strange reason, I seem to go for Gnome over KDE every time. I really need to spend more time poking around with WMs but honestly most of what I do is still at a terminal window anyways. Has anybody had an experiences with either White Box or Cent OS? I'm looking for a free 'work-alike' for RHEL for running software that is distributed only as RPMs and certified only under RHEL. Hello to the new people in the area, and to the old people since I'm sure they don't know/remember who I am. I've lurked on and off for a couple of years, I also work at ASU. Interests include: Apache, PgSQL, PHP, Ruby, Perl, PgSQL. I keep hearing good things about Python but I have yet to take the plunge. /otthreadhijack Micah
